Fine Point Consulting is pleased to announce the hiring of new consultant Leah Shales.

Shales is a graduate of DePaul University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Commerce degree with a concentration in Accounting. She is a certified public accountant, and spent the beginning of her career working on various audit, consulting and risk management engagements in the Chicagoland area.

“Leah will be a great asset for us going forward,” said Fine Point Consulting President Luella Schmidt. “Hiring the right people is of utmost importance to me because it goes a long ways towards helping our clients succeed.”

Shales’ prior experience includes working with both privately and publicly held companies, with a focus on the financial institution and not-for-profit industries. In June 2013, Leah made the trek up north to Madison so she could join the Fine Point Consulting team.

“I’m excited to work with a variety of different clients who each have their own unique challenges,” Shales said. “I hope to help them achieve success in their niche markets.”
